The Spanish international has taken out time to discuss his side’s position in the current season’s league standings, suggesting that winning in Europe is more important at the moment.

if it meant winning the European title.
Clearly, the Spaniard has his priorities set as he has openly stated that finishing behind their fiercest foes in the Spanish Primera Division’s league standings is not an issue as they long as they are successful in Europe.
Los Blancos are currently third in the league standings. They are 11 points behind Tito Vilanova’s Barca and are struggling to find their winning ways in the Liga BBVA. Clearly, they are without the spark they had last season as they have been unable to
experience the ideal start to their league campaign.
In addition, La Blaugrana have remained undefeated in their campaign so far as they continue to assert their superiority over other sides. Having won all of their games, except for a draw, the Catalans are in a strong position to win the silverware this
season.
Consequently, Casillas has stressed that he would not be disappointed if his side were unable to defend their title successfully as he believes that triumph in the Champions League is more significant.
"I do not have to think about it. If you told me now that we would finish 25 points behind Barcelona in La Liga that is obviously not ideal as the domestic competition is very important, But if you tell me that we are going to win La Decima, I would sign
for that right now," he told La Sexta.
Real Madrid have a great desire to win the Champions League this season as it will be their 10th European triumph. Los Vikingos already hold the record for the highest number of trophies in the history of the prestigious tournament.
